[BUG][.75]Army Teleports on Hero Death

from Elemental Forums

The primary hero in an army died during a battle with skeletons.  I won the battle with some surviving spearmen.  Afterward my victory screen both the injured hero and the victorious spearmen were teleported back to the nearest city.  

Can provide save game right before/after it happened if necessary.

This has happened to me as well.

I thought this was how it was supposed to work.  I'm OK with it frankly.

I had a funny bug in 0.50 where my champion "Bacco the Beggar" died while attacking a city, the remainder of the stack (non champions) managed to win the battle and I took the city.  But my wounded champion ended up listed in both the city I took and the nearest city.  When I reloaded the save I made to show the problem though, I only had one Bacco, and then 0.75 was released, so I never reported it.

I've seen this happen with the Bacco quest.

Seems like a dumb mechanism if its intentional.  You're army WINS and is sent away because a hero died?  Hell of a victory mechanic.

if you could send me the save (tsarnelle@stardock.com) I will try to repro it here and get that fixed... I've been told about this happening before but have never been able to get it to happen

Repo steps

 

1) Champion + regular units in the army

2) Fight a battle, let champion die during combat but let the regular units survive and win the battle.

3) Whole army is teleported back to nearest city, plus champion incurs an injury and doesn't gain XP.

Sent along with a description of how I reproduced the bug each time.  Hope it helps.
